Former One Directioner Louis Tomlinson is having to resort to the courts to ask for joint custody over his five-month-old son Freddie Reign – all because his ex Briana Jungwirth is jealous of his new girlfriend Danielle Campbell!

Yep, Louis says he’s planning to file for joint physical and legal custody over Freddie because Briana’s envy towards Danielle has led to ongoing “drama” between the former couple, and it’s affecting his relationship with his son.

A friend of Briana’s told People: “Before Briana got pregnant, she was bragging to friends about how serious she was with Louis. She thought it was going to be a real relationship.

“When Louis started dating Danielle, Briana was upset and that’s when the drama started. Briana really tried to make the relationship work, and she became jealous when he moved on.”

Although Louis was rumoured to have started dating Danielle in December while Briana was still pregnant, he still stuck to his daddy duties, helping provide for his baby mama and unborn son.

“When she was pregnant he was very supportive and paying for all her medical needs. He bought her a house, but she wanted something bigger,”a friend of Louis’ said.

Despite Louis reaching a temporary custody agreement with Briana in February, which allowed him to see Freddie for hours at a time but with strictly no overnight visits – he now wants to have equal access of time with his son, so 50/50 joint custody sounds like a pretty fair deal!

What’s more, Louis reportedly gives Briana $15,000 a month in child support, but that’s not enough for Briana. Yep, it’s rumoured that she’s “gotten greedy” -demanding more money off of Louis, and not allowing him to visit Freddie until she gets it! Yikes!
